Firstly, we all want to know How to Make Money Online, and one of the best ways I have found is by creating blogs. In this article I intend to show you how you too can learn How to Make Money Blogging by telling you how combining the techniques I have gathered from across the web helps to make me $$$ every day. Secondly, I am not trying to sell you my latest "Get Rich Quick" scheme because I don't have one. Each e-Book you read will have a wealth of information within them which will, without a doubt help you to discover the secrets of How to Make Money Online. I am only going to tell you which ones out of the 100's available you SHOULD read if you too want to make lots of money.
I will give you a list of the top 10 resources later that I use and recommend to everyone who is serious about making lots of money online. One of the vital aspects people seem to miss out when they first get into blogging is the fact that their blog must contain information that people want to read. Many bloggers are looking through closed eyes in this regard and if you browse through 50 blogs you will notice that most will tell you they know how to Make Money with Blogs when really all they tell you is where they went on their vacation or how many cars they have. Are you ready to learn how to Make Money Blogging the answer is YES then read on and start to make money with your blog. I am not here to tell you how to write your blog, that's up to you, but what I am about to tell you is the 10 things I use to make money on the internet. You can choose to use these techniques or not, that's your prerogative. Turn off your computer, grab a pen and some paper and sit somewhere you can relax but also stay focused (if you are just starting out this step can be a pain because we all want to know How to Make Money Online and we want to know how to make it NOW). Think of a topic you are interested in and write it down (this helps because you will be more committed to trying instead of giving up in a day or two) and also make sure it is something other people are interested in too. A couple of ways I use to think of a topic is by using Measly to find out what people are searching for, Ask IQ to find what's popular and VRE Toolbar to find out how many people search for the topic (this is also useful later on to get traffic). Write down your top five keywords, You will want to use them later in your blog.Find and create your blog online. I like to use Blogger but other popular Blog platforms are Word press and Movable Type. You can find all the help in the program you use to get information when setting up the blog. Create your content, make it original, and make it informative. This is one of the main keys to learn How to Make Money with Blogs. You need to include the keywords you wrote down in Step 1 in the content of your blog. Try not to overuse these as it sends out bad signals to the search engines, and this is 100% not what you want. Sign up for Google Adsense and insert the code in the margin of your blog. You can customize your ads in many ways, such as including text links or image links. I prefer the text links only, as they are easier to blend in with your blog and don't take the focus away from the information. Google Adsense will probably not make you a millionaire but it is an instant way of generating a small amount of money. If you want to track where your visitors are coming from with regards to direct hits or from search engine results then I would suggest you use Google Analytics and again you can get all the help you need setting that up from within the program. You will also want to add your URL to Google's index.
If you don't want to sell anything and are happy with the income Google Adsense is bringing in then you can skip this step. If you want to maximize your income and truly learn How to Make Money with Blogs you will want to find an affiliate program to join. A couple of affiliate programs I would suggest are Click Bank and Commission Junction. You can sell anything from office furniture, pet supplies, movies and clothing to PC games, Dieting tips and Audio software. Whatever program you join will give you help inserting the code you will need to insert into your blog, but be sure you do this correctly or you WILL NOT earn money from your visitors. If you do not know how to edit HTML, W3Schools HTML tutorial is a great place to start. There is no better advertising than word of mouth, but the next best thing is social Bookmarking. You will want to make things easier for people to do this.
It sounds pretty good at first though doesn't it? You know, you have you laptop with you at the beach just kind of taking it easy and making a killing blogging. Yea, that sounds good to me too. Too bad it doesn't happen like that.
There are so many ebooks out there that are selling the dream to newbies and taking advantage of them. Newbies get excited about making big money just blogging. I think we could all get excited about making big money, especially from home where you are comfortable and in charge.
All the ebooks tell you that you just have to know this secret or that secret an you will ge golden! Every new ebook has the magic bullet of an answer. The ultimate solution. A guaranteed way to make millions.
Sooner or later most bloggers find out that the dream is a lie. There is no secret to making millions that only costs you $47 to find out. I think most of us know that already but it is very easy to get just a little caught up in the whole thing. Especially as an enthusiastic newbie.
As if these ebooks don't do enough damage on their own, building up unreasonable expectations and selling the dream to countless newbies, you also have a certain bunch of popular 'make money online' blogs that are always showing off their supposed income. Of course they never show you how much they spend to earn that money!
So new bloggers tend to have unrealistic expectations about the entire blogging experience. I would like to set forth what I believe to be reasonable expectations for someone just getting into blogging for money.
First thing I want to mention is that it is easier to build a bunch of smaller blogs that each make a little money but when added together can equal a decent sum. But I digress...what do I consider to be realistic in terms of expectations? I think a new blogger can begin to make money in anywhere from 6 months to a year. It all depends on how long the new blogger follows the wrong advice before finding his way. Once you find your way I would say it takes about four months to actually start making money blogging.
The process is simple once you figure it out and it only takes time and effort to duplicate it. The problem really is discerning what information is good and what is not good. This is extremely hard for the newbie .
The only thing that is worse than spending an enormous amount of time trying to find decent and reliable information is actually applying the bad advice.
A newbies best chance as far as keeping it simple and actually making a little money is to create an affiliate product blog. You just promote an affiliate product on your 'blog' and that is it. You can set up tons of affiliate product blogs because with these kinds of blogs you don't update them all the time, if ever, like you do with a normal blog. You just create about ten pages or so of original content and get lots of links to your blog. You keep getting links until you reach the number one spot in the serps. Simple but time consuming, yet this is the easiest way for a newbie to make money 'blogging'.
